CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, has announced significant enhancements to the predictive retrosynthetic capabilities in CAS SciFindern, the premier scientific and most advanced relevance search engine used by researchers worldwide. An order of magnitude increase in the number of literature examples per reaction pathway prediction enhances user understanding and confidence in the predictions. Addition of a material cost threshold leads to practical, commercially viable solution options. A significant milestone in a multi-year development program, the enhanced platform uses state-of-the-art AI technology trained by the most comprehensive CAS Content Collection™ amassed from more than 110 years of chemistry research.
The expansive build program involved a dedicated team of 20 product, technology and data science professionals and a testing pool of more than 100 chemists to ensure the back-end development, powering high-quality results, was matched with a streamlined front-end interface for a user-friendly experience.
The enhancements to CAS SciFindern retrosynthesis will be demonstrated in a free webinar on Wednesday, August 18, presented at three times: 04:00, 10:00 and 16:00 US EDT. The webinar will cover changes to the rule set and enhanced control over the synthetic pathways.
